Explore what makes our periodontal practice unique!
Our Story
Rogue Periodontics + Implant Dentistry was born out of a shared passion for providing exceptional periodontal care and a commitment to using the latest advancements in periodontal care to benefit our patients. Our dedicated periodontists started their merger with Dr. Malloy sending Dr. Ferrin a text message (one that he had spent a lot of time going back and forth on before deciding it wouldn’t hurt just to try.) Since then, they joined forces to create a practice where their patients feel comfortable and confident in their treatment. What began with a simple text message has now blossomed into a thriving partnership built on mutual respect, collaboration, and a genuine desire to help patients achieve optimal oral health!
MEET THE DOCTORS
John Ferrin, DMD, MS
Dr. Ferrin brings a wealth of expertise in cutting-edge periodontal care to Southern Oregon. Born in the rugged mountains of Northern Utah and raised in the heart of Mississippi, Dr. Ferrin's journey is as unique as his skills.
At just 17, he answered the call of duty, serving 14 years in the U.S. Army National Guard. After earning his Bachelor's Degree in Biology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, he pursued his passion for dentistry at the same university's School of Dental Medicine.
While a dental student, he founded a remarkable clinic to provide free dental care to Veterans in need. This clinic, named after his brother, Sgt. Clint Ferrin, who tragically lost his life in Iraq in 2004, is a testament to Dr. Ferrin's commitment to service. His dedication earned him the prestigious ADA Foundation Award for student leadership.
Drawn to the intricacies of dental implants and periodontal surgery, Dr. Ferrin advanced his training at the University of Kentucky's Periodontal Program. He mastered techniques like sinus elevation, ridge augmentation, and complex implant placement there. He graduated with a Master's Degree in Science and a certificate in Periodontology and continues to expand his knowledge through ongoing education.
Dr. Ferrin is a driving force behind the Rogue Excellence Dental Club, an affiliate of the renowned Seattle Study Club. This prestigious organization recognizes his commitment to excellence, awarding him both Rookie of the Year (2019) and the Exceptional Leadership Award (2021).
When he's not immersed in dentistry, Dr. Ferrin enjoys spending quality time with his children and actively engaging with the community. He's also an avid ruck marcher, having conquered the challenging 24-hour, 40-mile GoRuck Heavy Challenge in New York City!

Kyle Malloy, DMD, MS
Diplomate, American Board of Periodontology
Dr. Malloy's passion for dentistry was ignited early on. Growing up in an Air Force family, he had the privilege of living all over the country and abroad. It was during these years, while shadowing his father, a Prosthodontist in the Air Force and later the Director of Clinical Restorative Dentistry at OHSU, that he first discovered the blend of art and science present in dentistry.
His fascination grew as he spent time in a dental lab during high school, gaining a firsthand appreciation—this early exposure laid the groundwork for his academic journey. Dr. Malloy attended Gonzaga University for his undergraduate studies and continued his dental education at OHSU.
As a dedicated student, he was actively involved in student government, research, and various dental organizations. His academic achievements were recognized with numerous scholarships and awards, including the prestigious Hinman Student Research Symposium award for his work on CAD-CAM milling applications. Upon graduation with Great Honors, he was selected by the faculty as the top student in Oral Surgery, Implant Dentistry, Operative Dentistry, and Dental Material Research.
Driven by his desire for further specialization, Dr. Malloy pursued a three-year residency in Periodontics and Implant Surgery at OHSU. During this time, he gained extensive experience in soft tissue grafting, dental implant surgery, and complex dental procedures. His research on digital radiography and dental implants was presented at the Academy of Osseointegration's annual meeting.
Dr. Malloy's commitment to excellence is further evidenced by his board certification in Periodontology and Implant Surgery, a distinction achieved by only a select group of periodontists. He remains actively involved in continuing education and shares his knowledge through lectures on various topics, from soft tissue grafting to full-mouth implant reconstructions.
When he's not immersed in his dental practice or academic pursuits, Dr. Malloy enjoys spending quality time with his family, exploring the great outdoors, and cheering on Gonzaga Basketball!
